When someone asks... "What happened in your love story.?"

We got together. But she was the class representative and I was the last bench student. (Like literally)

She wanted a lot of things from life. I wanted lot of things with her in my life. So.......

What's up with yours? Are you guys doing alright.? If not why?

I completed my B.E. in Electrical & Electronics Engineering from a reputed college, but I didn’t get placed.

After graduation, I had no references or connections. I spent a lot of time going around Chennai, asking people for a chance and trying to get my first job. Eventually, I worked as an electrician for some time.

Now I’m working in industrial projects at a small-scale company. I’m learning a lot of practical things, but I still feel stuck when I think about my future.

The salary is basic, and I also have very little knowledge about personal finance, saving, investing, etc. I feel like I’m working hard, but I don’t have a clear career path.

I’m considering PLC/automation, electrical design, project engineering, or moving to a bigger company.

For experienced engineers in Chennai/Tamil Nadu — if you were in my position, what would you do?

I’m not looking for generic motivation. I’d genuinely appreciate honest advice from people who started with very little and managed to build a good career.
